More new GS games coming soon

You think there's gonna be DLC?

They've announced extra game content will come via DLC: 1,400 more puzzles and 600 more clues.

Good to note that we may end up seeing classic Jeopardy! sets as DLC. Look at one of the Artists portfolios, and scroll all the way down: http://joelmandishportfolio.blogspot.com/

We see some concept for a classic set.

I'll believe it when I see it. At least the demo shows up in my content catalog now, so there's a step.

Not that there's a whole lot to the Jeopardy set in the first place, but that sure is pretty.

I wasn't even aware Ludia had a hand in this game. I know THQ and Ubisoft are involved, and considering that these two games look ike they were made with care, I'm pretty sure Ludia is out of the picture here.

BTW, check your Toys R Us for sales- mine has a buy one get 40% off sale on all video games right now, meaning you may be able to pick up the Griffin tandem for around $50.

You may be right; the piece Chad wrote for BuzzerBlog mentions Pipeworks, and I am assuming he sourced that information from a press release of some kind. Chad, can you confirm?

Nevertheless, the blurb still made my head hurt.

I meant to relay this yesterday- You Don't Know Jack is available for Xbox 360 direct download at the low price of $10. Each of the 4 expansion packs has been slashed to 100 Microsoft Points ($1.25), meaning you can have the entire lot for $15- $5 if you already had the game and didn't get the extra content.

This is absolutely not Ludia or Ubisoft. It's Pipeworks and THQ. I'm not sure what Ludia vibe you're getting from this.
I have no way to confirm that extra sets will have anything to do with Jeopardy! You can unlock ten theme week sets from Wheel via winning games and buying them, but no such option exists, as far as I can tell, with Jeopardy! You're always defaulted to "regular" set in the start game menu with no way to change it.

[Hastin]

The manual in the J! box says "there is only one set at this time, the Classic Set", and there's an summary listed on game start screen that says "Stage: Classic Stage", clearly implying that it can be changed if there were multiple sets.

Pipeworks has at least given themselves the option for DLC Sets with Jeopardy!, but we may not see one.

The manual in the J! box says "there is only one set at this time, the Classic Set"

Oh, okay. I don't have a manual, since I was provided codes for downloading straight from the PSN Store. So I guess it's not outside of the realm of possibility, but I wouldn't get your hopes up very high.

[clemon79]

I'm not sure what Ludia vibe you're getting from this.

Yes, because as I alluded to before, you can't see the descriptive text that THQ submitted to us that I can, because the game details page doesn't show up on your Xbox until tomorrow morning when the demo is allegedly available.

When it goes live (and I can verify on the box on my desk that it is live, which will upgrade with everyone else's tomorrow morning) I will be more than happy to point out what I am seeing right now, but until then I would like to refrain from getting into habits that might endanger my employment.

[clemon79]

Okay, apparently I can mention it, because THQ uses the exact same blurb on their site, with the exception of correcting the spelling on the host's name. The copy as submitted to us was:

Join Alex Trebeck and play as a contestant on “America’s Favorite Quiz Show!®” Test your trivia knowledge to make it to Final Jeopardy and the coveted Winner’s Circle!

"...where Mike Richards will look REALLY confused..."

"...where Mike Richards will look REALLY confused..."

But will Trebek always have the perfect clue?

[MSTieScott]

I now have an urge to see a Final Jeopardy! where the think music has been replaced with the Winner's Circle clock cue. And vice versa.

I'm fairly sure you'll be disappointed with the outcome.

BTW, I didn't see it mentioned here yet, but the Xbox Millionaire game requires you to have a Kinect sensor to play. I still don't know how Ludia thought that not having an option to turn this off was smart.

Spotted at Barnes & Noble: Endless Games's Password 7th Edition. I hope they proofread the words this time.
